Cantor has a miserable working environment. Lack of benefits - no 401K match, no tuition reimbursement, health care is terrible, no learning & development classes. The software used is very old - most systems are terribly outdated which is worrisome for such a large company. Many people have a terrible attitude and appear to hate their jobs and everyone else. If you need experience in financial services, then I would recommend this company. Otherwise, don't

The work load is high, although to their defense they were never unclear about that point. The atmosphere is fast paced. Everyone on my team worked 12 hour days and we almost always ate lunch at our desks while writing software. The one advantage is that in a short amount of time you will be able to say that you accomplished very much, because they throw a lot of work at you.

No job security, here today, gone tomorrow! Pay is horrendous unless your a pal of the CEO, benefits are horrendous bc theyre so cheap. Culture was young, and fun. Made some of my best friends there. Management was a joke, empty promises.

It was a long time ago, but very good company. Lots of great managers, I learned a lot from there. Cantor Fitzgerald has a lot of growth and good opportunities.. Really good people work hard there and good moral.

My manager immediately saw potential within me and gave me opportunities to learn about the different parts of the team. She showed me hands on, walked me through and although she corrected me often she congratulated me as well. She increased my pay twice, based on my increased duties and performance.

Cantor itself was a great place to work because all the employees there (aside from management) truly cared about doing a great job and were very nice people to work with. Management was a hit or miss situation as some managers went out of their way for their employees, while others didn't get involved at all.

A typical day at Cantor varied from day to day, but for the most part most of the support calls were Bloomberg feeds or other market data feeds down, an occasional virus ect.

The hardest part of the job was the pressure to get problems resolved as time is money in the brokerage world.

The most enjoyable part of the job is that although there were specific departments for things such as phones, servers or backups, whereas at Cantor, I was able to get my hands dirty in all aspects of technology
